Surround yourself with the sounds of music at this famous festival in the Berkshires

The sound of music, in all its spell-binding forms, is everywhere at Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and site of one of the world’s most beloved music festivals. Whether your tastes run to Beethoven, or to James Taylor – or to the movies! – you will find something to engage the music-lover in you at this magnificent property in the Berkshires. The festival runs from late June through August, this year featuring everything from Kool and The Gang and “Jurassic Park in Concert” to chamber-music ensembles, guest artists Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Bell, and an all-Strauss program with leading soprano Renee Fleming. Tanglewood also offers summer guided tours. Dining options include elegant picnics, a bistro buffet and three-course dinners at Highwood Manor House.
